Wow, those are really good points, Penny.  That makes a lot of 
sense.  So, do you think this could be part of Harry ~making~ James 
come out first?  Wouldn't it have a stronger effect if Lily came out 
first, said his father was coming, then James came out and told Harry 
what to do?  James being last would seem more emotionally powerful 
and poignant, plus it would seem more in keeping with James being so 
much on Harry's mind that night.  Any thoughts?
